Well, this is our friend. He's recording the games we're playing. Are you okay with it being recorded?
You're okay. Your friend?
She's American. She's from here.
She's the one who introduced me and your mom from Sweden too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you can play me and then you can play my mom.
Okay.
How about that? Yeah?
Yeah.
Okay. All right. You don't have a clock or anything? We just play?
You just enjoy yourself. Take your time.
Okay. Very nice. All right.
What's your name?
They call me Timon.
Timon? Okay. I'm Anna. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
All right. I'll go here.
Do you play here every day?
No. No, I don't play every day. I just play.
You just play when you feel like it?
Yeah.
That's the way to enjoy chess?
Yeah.
All right. I'll go here.
You look like you know what you're doing though.
I mean, a little bit I do, I guess.
So I can't sleep on you?
Please do. Please sleep on me.
Please sleep on you.
Right here.
Okay. I'll go there.
What do I... Okay. I'll take here.
Oh, you're going for the attack now.
Because I see you could play, so I got to show you something about me too.
Of course.
Oh, you're now being very aggressive. Okay.
I'm being nice at first until I see the upper piece.
Oh, you were being nice at first. You thought you could take it easy.
Hmm.
That was a good move though. Okay.
Okay. I'll go here.
Maybe...
Huh. Okay.
Are you doing stuff over here? Okay. I'll go there.
Of course you are.
You got to stick to the goal. The goal is the boss.
The goal is the boss. He's right here.
That's the only way that makes sense. Everything makes sense right here.
That's the only thing that actually matters.
That's the only thing that matters. I never forget that. I stick with the goal.
You're right about that. Okay.
That's how we succeed in life, right?
It is.
Stick to the goal.
You just got to go. I don't even care if it matters. You just got to go.
I hope you can't continue attacking my boss.
No, I'm not going to do that.
I'll go here.
What do you love the most about chess?
My opinion?
Brainstorming.
It gives you...
Like me, when I come out here to play chess, these guys be like,
you don't play chess. You never play chess. But how you always beat on us?
Because I don't come out here and play the same
regular boring-ass chess openings or the same old boring-ass chess moves,
the same thing people are doing.
I come with my own attack, my own everything.
And it works.
So I feel it took time for me to brainstorm to do that.
So that's why I love most of my chess, to brainstorm and follow.
You get to come up with your plans. You get to do your own game.
Things like that.
It's very yours.
And help me put it with life the same way, the same things like that. Exactly.
Do you feel like it's helped in life too?
Like you can translate what you've done in chess to life?
Hell yeah.
Any chess player would tell you that.
Yeah. I love that.
I'm going to go here.
See, like you're thinking. You see, are you thinking so good?
You got to protect my pawn.
No, you got me extra thinking. You got to protect your pawn.
Of course. I don't want to lose it.
Got a good defense. You got me locked down over here.
So then you got the fake attack.
A fake attack?
Through the middle.
So if I come there, I could play the fool and I'm not going to open up that.
Could I open that up to her?
I think I could open it up though.
She's giving me a good game.
So this is not a walkover game.
So get out of her way.
Get out of her way.
Oh, I think I see what you want to do.
You want to start pushing this pawn, don't you?
Because you have to deal with the logic of how you're playing too.
So I can't play that's cocky and think I could just attack you.
Yeah.
Because like you, that's a scrub.
No, everything you have is a very logical defense.
I can't do nothing to you.
So it don't make no sense.
I'm coming after you with no logical.
So I have to make sure my logical first, then I could come after you.
That is true.
That's why I fell back.
Because your pieces in the mix correctly.
The only logic, you got a pawn that's not hanging.
You have other options.
You have a backup.
I already saw that.
That's what you call a mirage.
You think that's free.
I'm not chasing that.
No, you're chasing over here.
Because that's a mirage.
You're making me think it's free.
It's not free.
A mirage.
You call it a mirage.
A mirage.
I like that word.
Okay, I'll go there.
See, I knew that what she was going to do.
I already thought that.
You already thought that.
It's like we can think each other's brain right now.
And I'm taking it.
Okay.
I'll take back.
Mom, come and support me here.
I ain't gonna take that chance.
No.
Okay.
I gotta take the bishop.
Oh my gosh.
She tricked me.
I can be tricky.
Check.
All right.
I gotta go.
I'll go here.
You could play a chance.
But it will not be the same.
You do something.
It might be better than your mom's.
I don't know.
I can't compare.
That's why I'm taking it easy on you.
You are?
Well, you can play my mom after if you want.
Okay, I'll go here I think.
Checkmate.
All right.
Thank you.
You wanna play my mom?
Play against my mom.
Yeah.
